Question about tubro oil lines

I'm in the middle of replacing the turbos on my 135i. I'm going to reuse the turbo coolant lines, but I hear that some people replace the oil feed and return lines. How important is it to do that? Mine look fine and they are expensive to replace.

I'm looking from advice from people who have actually done a turbo swap, not just random opinions.

I reused them and no oil leaks after 10k+ miles so far. Just go easy on them when you pry them off.

I re-used mine. Replace the seals. They also get a little bent if they are rusted in real good so make sure to straighten the flanges back out before re-installing them.
